Utopia Revisited

'An acre in Middlesex is better than a principality in Utopia'. Thomas Macaulay

'The belief in the possibility (or probability) of happiness as the product of rational organisation...is the heart of all the utopias'. Isaiah Berlin

'A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which humanity is always landing. And when humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopia.' Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism (1891)
